In the 80’s, Tim became involved with Rabbit Ears Productions, a children’s video company. He illustrated several of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories for Rabbit Ears, including the Grammy Award-winning The Elephant’s Child, narrated by Jack Nicholson.

Tim then realized a longtime dream by illustrating and directing his own version of Pecos Bill for Rabbit Ears. Narrated by Robin Williams. this video also won a Grammy Award for Best Children’s Recording, as well as a Parent’s Choice Classic Award. Tim directed several other award-winning videos and served as a Creative Director for the company until 1991, writing scripts and working closely with numerous top illustrators.

Raglin has since then illustrated a number of children’s picturebooks, including The Thirteen Days of Halloween (Scholastic), The Wolf Who Cried Boy (Putnam), Twelfth Night (Dial), Go Track a Yak! (Simon and Schuster), Bill In a China Shop (Bloomsbury), Cowboy Jose (Putnam) and Dinner in the Lion’s Den (Putnam). He also produced a series of illustrations for the Disney Cruise Line, entitled A Nautical Alphabet.

But his chief focus has been as the publisher of several of his own picturebooks, including Uncle Mugsy and the Terrible Twins of Christmas and The Birthday ABC, which was chosen as an American Library Association “Pick of the List” in 1995. Raglin is currently working on several new picturebooks which he plans to publish under his own imprint. The Curse of Catunkhamun is the first of these.

Raglin’s Mugsy illustrations received a Silver Medal from the New York Society of Illustrators. Uncle Mugsy, The Birthday ABCs, and Bill In a China Shop were chosen to appear in The Original Art Show: The Best in Children’s Books. The Wolf Who Cried Boy received a Reader’s Choice Award, and Twelfth Night and Bill In a China Shop received Parent’s Choice Awards.
